In a brazen early morning theft, thieves have stolen more than 1,000 historical artifacts from the Oakland Museum of California, including significant Native American items. This event marks a major crime in the Bay Area, occurring just days before a notorious heist at the Louvre in Paris. Law enforcement, including the Oakland Police Department and the FBI, are currently investigating the theft, which has left the museum community in shock and raised concerns about security for cultural artifacts. Despite the scale of the heist, there have been no arrests made yet.
